What are some rare, weird, obscure racing games I can look into? I want something crazy and odd. I'm collecting a bunch of games and for some reason I want a racing game that's really crazy and weird. If you can point me to some, for PC, console and so on. Thanks a ton.
Well, I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but it's definitely an obscure game I used to play on the PS1. Lego Racers.
Online stores will stock all of the popular games of course but generally also stock a huge number of more obscure games.
I've been looking around the interwebs and found this video. Crazy Weird Racing Games Too long; didn't watch? They talk about Road Blaster, Enviro-Bear 2000, Jet Moto series, Rumble Racing, Starsky & Hutch and Desert Bus.
Oddly enough I have found some "old stock" in pawn shops and second hand stores. Sort of like treasure hunting if you are up to it. Enviro Bear...really? Thanks for sharing, that is quite the obscure find.
Oh man, the Jet Moto series, not really obscure, but it's an awesome game. I remember fondly playing the demo way back on the PS1 and just having a total blast with it. I convinced my parents to buy the game and was so happy for it. That's the racing game that started it for me literally. I suggest checking that one out for sure bro!
There was a really fun game in the fast, I think it was F-Zero, which was quite different or me at the time. I really love this game. I'm not sure if it would qualify as obscure or not, but it was an awesome game.
Slingshot Racing is also a unique racing game for mobile devices. Basically, all you do is to tap on the screen to hold on to different poles in order to make a curve. It's simple yet hard as the levels progress. Timing is actually everything in this game. Here's the game in action:
These are some... unique games, to say the least. I'm totally not laughing my ass off right now, totally not.
Twisted Metal Black is a pretty obscure racing game. It has so many dark themes that it creeped me out a couple of times. You can have various weapons on your vehicle and you just destroy the other racers. It's pretty fun once you try it out.
